      <![CDATA[Yes because people are going to buy this book only because of this one advertisement.  You really can't be that fucking stupid can you?<br>
<br>
The people who are going to buy this book are the same people who watch the show.  There's quite a few of them, quite enough it seems that will buy stuff like books, t-shirts, and all kinds of things.

      <![CDATA[Not funny, and given the amount of ridiculous nerds and dorks in this town, not to mention yuppies, HOW are you running out of material? Ride Tri Met for a day....Go to a bar in the Pearl...Go to Powells (on a side note why does it suck now?), hell, sit in on a session of City Government. All the non sequitor and comedy you will ever need.

Oh, don't like that, eh? Well, you're probably embarrassed that they've done such a spot on job of parodying what you look like when you're trying to be clever, or something.

      <![CDATA[Oh. I get it. It's not funny. Which means its funny. But I'm not going to laugh because that'd be way too obvious.<br>
<br>
Portlandia reminds me of that one Seinfeld where everyone pretends they understand the humor behind a newspaper comic but nobody can explain why, and eventually everyone (including the newspaper's editor) admits it's not funny and they aren't sure why they even printed it in the first place. Portlandia had a few good ideas and would've been cool as web series but holy fuck that 2nd seasons was a piece o shit.
